Re: ACS Run SQL Scripts - define a variable

Hi Vern,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried...
CREATE OR REPLACE VARIABLE @rows INTEGER; <=== This works successfully
GET DIAGNOSTICS @rows = ROW_COUNT ;

But this errors on @rows with error message: Message: [SQL0104] Token
@ROWS was not valid.

Any suggestions

Don

Hi Don

You should be able to - CREATE VARIABLE somename as datatype, then use
somename where you see :Rows = just don't use the semi-colon.

It's very cool!

To see the value, there is a tab at the bottom for global variables -
click on it and click on Refresh - Ba-Da-Boom!

For the longest time I didn't know at all how to do things with global
variables - got lucky one day just fooling around!

Vern

In a post from Jon Paris on a different thread Jon suggested using

exec sql GET DIAGNOSTICS :Rows = ROW_COUNT ; to get the number of rows
returned by the previous select.

Is it possible to do this in the ACS run SQL Scrips - How can I define a
variable to receive the row count into ?


Thanks

Don
